JUNIDIQS HOME ROOM 106 just around the cornernlthe answer given by several girls as they hurriedly left the room having been SLIGHTLY overcome by the aroma which confronted them upon entering. The aroma was that of stale fish, ether, and remnants of biology experiments. And thanks to the biology classes, the home room students found many specimens of interest fincluding white rats-much to the distress of certain female membersj. Vice-president Ernest Larsen was an able substitute when their efficient little president, Pat Weller, was absent. Harold Powers was elected Secretary-Treasurer. Out of four members from the junior class who were selected for the National Honor Society, three hail from 106. They are: Lenore Ackerson, jack Eakle, and George Skinner. Add to that the fact that three of the four junior athletes who became members of the National Athletic Society were from 106. They were: jack Eakle, George Skinner, and Harold Powers. That is quite a record for one home room and one of which they can justly be proud. HOME ROOM 303 President William Pettee presided over all business meetings in home room 303, that is, when Mr. Grace insisted ! ! ! Vice-president Barbara Anderson was his stoogeishe took over when President Pettee was absent. The money and all financial matters were managed by Treasurer Taylor Jensen. Now we come to Schmitt fLaverne, they call himj. He was the secretary of 505. Look, Ma, no minutes ! ! ! As in all home rooms, the sale of bonds and stamps was one of the main activities. Each Tuesday, all the members of this room dug deep into their pockets and pulled out dimes, quarters, etc. They had a fine record-100'X, participationiNow see who's patriotic ! I ! An additional fact fthat of course we wouldn't want to publicizej is that the members of 303 had a good time ! l ! Didn't you, kids P ? ? HOME ROOM 104 Some thanks for our victorious basketball season might possibly go to home room 104i who knows ! ! ! I ! It was they who, at Christmas time, presented Mr. Howard with his beautiful red necktie--that famous tie that accompanied him to every basketball game as a good luck token. Lay that pistol down, babe, Lay that pistol down Pistol Packin' Mama Lay that pistol down ! ! Yes, Pistol Packin' Mama really did a good deed when she helped the kids win the second prize with their float, which was dedicated to this outstanding personage. In September when home room elections were held, Howard QBuzzj Troupa was elected President, Lillian Adams was elected Vice-president and Roger Springer was elected Secretary- Treasurer. Did Mr. Howard ever mention the basketball games ? ? ? Now who's kidding ! ! ! l 251

SODHOMOIQES HOME ROOM 108 Victory, Victory is our cry ! ! ! This is indeed the cry of home room 108. Yes, it seems that these sophomores are an enthusiastic group. At the homecoming parade they were out with their float, which was a small model of a Trojan Horse, and received first prize. They had just recuperated from the parade when magazine sales came along. Immediately they acquired a good sales talk and thus won first in sales. Incidentally they were way over their quota. . Never a Tuesday goes by that everyone isn't ready with their money to purchase war bonds and stamps. Charles Bergland calls the meetings to order in the manner of an experienced president and conducts the new and old business. The minutes of the meeting are clearly read by Ann Avery secretary. Verne Shaffer gives the report on the money situation. HOME ROOM 112 Yeh! Bill! Yeh! Palmer! Yeh! Yeh! Bill Palmer! ! Such a cheer for their President and other little marks of joviality came from Miss Woller's room. Like all other home rooms in the school they had a good time mixed in with their more serious moments. Charles Hays was their Vice-president, Kathryn Nevius was the Secretary fand did she work hard ! ! ! Q Winifred Wilson was the money-girl or treasurer. Note that the members of 112 believe in absolute democracy. They have two girls and two boys as officers. Then came the Homecoming parade I ! There was a first prize, there was a second prize, there was a third prize. Congrats to 112 for winning the third prize on their float ! ! We can't belittle the efforts of 112 to help put over the sale of stamps and bonds. They did their share! And the magazine sales were no minor achievement. They went over their quota. That's pretty good ! ! , HOME ROOM 117 It wasn't their fault that they had two teachers. It wasn't their fault that Mr. Fleming left, it wasn't their fault Mr. Allen came. Well, anyway, they' did have a teacher most of the time- including Mrs. Leta Armstrong. Shirley Fordham held the ppsition of president, while Ivan Matson served as Vice-President. Ann Martin was Secretary. Home Room 117 placed 5rd in the Magazine Sale Contest. Secretary Gene Elliott was surely kept busy. Everyday at about 10:50, he was seen rushing into Mr. Bare's room with his money bag and his little blue andgyellow receipts. Nice work if you can get it . . . The Sophomores of old home room 117 also did a fine job of buying stamps and bonds and were substantially representative on the honor roll. E241
